Kenn Pettiford has been playing the piano and
singing since early childhood. While in his teens, Kenn began performing
“professionally” all over the country and around the world in jazz venues,
theatrical productions, concert settings, and in religious services and
ceremonies.

Pettiford’s rich baritone voice is expressive and flexible in its many styles;
it lets you know you’re listening to a seasoned professional. When you listen,
you feel the music as his perfect phrasing, articulation, and intonation tells
the story of each song. He has an uncanny ability to make you laugh, set you
at ease, and include you in his performances.

Kenn has traveled to perform in Japan, Sweden, Holland, France, Italy,
Germany, Hawaii, and the Fijian islands. In recent years Kenn has had the
pleasure of collaborating with various performers such as Akio Sasajima, a
world class guitarist. Together, they created the exciting duo “2 Kool,” and
performed in numerous European venues.

Kenn has also collaborated on projects with Mavis Vegas Davis, who is an
exciting vocalist and also the assistant director of “That Seventies Show.”
Mavis and Kenn, with Bob Este, developed an act opening for Whoopi Goldberg
and also performing The Spirit Awards, honoring comedy writer
Bruce Vilanche in
Hollywood.

Kenn Pettiford is also an extraordinary Master of Ceremonies. In conjunction
with Karen Burns Productions, he has hosted most of Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Awards
Shows, conventions, VIP parties, and promotional tours. He was the Master of
Ceremonies and featured vocalist for the “New Millennium New Years Eve
Celebration.” He has starred in other New Years Eve galas, extravaganzas, and
celebrations at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, Silver Legacy Hotel and Casino, Hyatt
Regency Lake Tahoe, Peppermill Hotel and Casino, Eldorado Hotel and Casino,
Harvey’s Hotel and casino, and for Mandalay Bay Resorts, Inc.

Kenn hosted the Beaulieu
Vineyards, BV wines, 100 year “Celebration of Passionate Wine Making” at
The Rutherford House in Napa Valley, and the Weston St. Francis in San
Francisco.

His talents were also featured as the vocalist for a Cisco Systems event at
the San Francisco Gift Pavilion, San Francisco, California. Kenn has also
performed for numerous benefits and charitable organizations.

This just scratches the surface of Kenn’s participation in the arts. If you

exceptional abilities as a performer.
